What is Regex?

Regex - Regular Expression

Regular Expression are a special purpose text string operation used in programming language for search pattern.

Primarily used for String searching and manipulation.

For eg: If you need to find a certain word from a word document or log file this method might be handy for the programmers.

Note Worthy: In Python, Regular Expression is denoted by Re and its is imported from the module re module.

Methods that can used in Regular Expressions:

  • re.split()
  • re.match()
  • re.search()
  • re.findall()

Simple Example of Regex in Python

Syntax of split function:


re.split('items to find and split', 'String in which operation to be performed')

Eg:       re.split('\s', 'Hello world')

items to find and split - if u want to split the word hello world into hello and world  then you must split by means of the space provided between them so that space notation should be mentioned there.

String in which operation to be performed -  Hello world


Source Code:

import re
variable = re.split('\s', 'Hello Google Bird Users')
print variable

Output:

['Hello', 'Google', 'Bird', 'Users']

Explanation:

Line 1 : import re

              This line is used to import the regular expression module which is given inn python libraries through which we can able to perform regex operations.

Line 2 : variable = re.split('\s', 'Hello Google Bird Users')

             \s - denotes the space. Wherever the space is present the the word will be split at that point.
              Here in our string we have space in between 'Hello   Google   Bird   Users'
              So the space position will split and from a single string many new string will obtained and stored as lists in a given variable.

Line 3 : print variable

              This line will display the values present in the variable after spliting.

BIG DATA ANALYTICS

BIG DATA ANALYTICS Have you ever hit upon how Amazon and Flip kart could possible verdict what we want; how the Google auto completes our search; how the YouTube looks into videos we want to watch? When we open YouTube, we will be at sixes and sevens, when we find ads related to what we have searched earlier in the past days. This is where we find ourselves in the era of big data analytics. More than 3 trillion bytes of information are being generated everyday through our smart phones, tablets, GPS devices, etc.  Have we thought about what can be done with all these information? This is where the data analytics comes into play. Big data analytics is just the study of future build up to store data in order to extract the behaviour patterns. The entire social networking website gathers our data which are related to our interest which is usually done by using our past search or any other social information. Data analytics will lead to a walkover in near future. 

Managing IT Infrastructure in Company - Cloud Computing

Managing IT Infra in Company Imagine you start a company, and you have a website for that company. The website is hosted on a server which you bought for your small company. Your company is growing and growing. People are visiting your site. Soon you start encountering issues with your website since the traffic on your website is very high and the people are visiting at the same time. When many people are using the same website at the same time, the server slows down.   On the other hand, people using your website will become very less in number if the server slows down. As a result the traffic increases which ultimately increases the power. How to solve this issue? You get more servers in order to resolve this problem which is quite expensive. You have to pay for installation, maintenance and service.  Instead put your website on the server which is online which will be always available and there is no need for any physical equipment. You only have to pay for the

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) What is AWS EC2 ? Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, EC2 is a web service from Amazon that provides resizable compute services in the cloud. What do you mean by resizable in AWS EC2 ? You can quickly scale up or scale down the number of server instance you are using based upon on your traffic.  What is called as Instance? An instance is a virtual server for running applications on Amazon’s EC2. Simply Virtual Machine is called as Instance(i.e)it holds the HDD, OS, RAM, Network Connection Whatever things that are need to run a system.  Note : Everything is Virtual You can’t able to see the HDD, RAM , or CPU. Only thing is you can able to configure it based on your need.    So here is the Definition….  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Why Amazon EC2 ?   Pay-as-you
